The things we love…

Posted by on May 26, 2010 at 12:42 pm

I love when I have French fries and a ketchup packet that squirts ketchup directly onto the fry before I sail it into my mouth. It’s got to be one of my favorite things about life. I love reading in the sunshine. It doesn’t matter where I am, as long as there is sun and [...]

Finding My Purpose

Posted by on May 12, 2010 at 2:38 pm

A long time ago, almost 4 years ago, I started writing a book. This book came from a few ideas that I had which started to materialize on the notebook paper in front of me. I felt wonderful to create the days of the lives of the characters I dreamed. I felt connected to them [...]

Little Time to Laugh

Posted by on April 28, 2010 at 3:11 pm

Recently a friend of my brother’s introduced him to a very comical group of Youtube videos made by “balloonshop.” The first video my brother and I watched together was called “When the Blood comes home.” He told me the name of it–and I was hesitant to watch it–but after hearing him laugh hysterically, I decided [...]

Winds of Change…

Posted by on April 21, 2010 at 2:46 pm

Like the springtime breeze that brushes against the trees and flowers, passing them, leaving them a little different than before, the winds of change blow throughout our days bringing new beginnings and unexpected endings. When one thing ends it often causes me to reflect a lot. Am I happy that it’s over? Do I wish [...]

To fight aint right!!

Posted by on April 7, 2010 at 10:12 pm

Every weekday morning, my brother goes to a gospel study class at our church before high school. My bedroom is right next to our bathroom. Needless to say…I get awakened quite often as he goes to get ready around five am. Sometimes I get really ticked that he left the door open and the light [...]

Finding Passion

Posted by on March 17, 2010 at 9:19 pm

Have you ever found something that you are just so passionate about that you can’t seem to get enough of it? Well, for me that happened about a year ago when I took my first athletic training class. Now, of course I was a scared little first-semester college student and was often unsure about what [...]

Roadblocks

Posted by on March 10, 2010 at 7:03 pm

In honor of National Athletic Training Month, I would like to begin by saying thank you to all the athletic trainers who do so much to help keep our players playing, to create a learning environment for those aspiring to become athletic trainers, being among the best to tape an ankle and so much more. [...]

Room Temperature

Posted by on March 3, 2010 at 12:08 pm

Don’t you find it funny that the same room temperature that makes a milkshake melt also makes your hamburger too cold to enjoy? I was thinking about this last night as I was delayed in eating my dinner due to an important phone call, and everything, whether it was hot or cold, was not quite [...]

Front of the Class

Posted by on February 9, 2010 at 5:09 pm

I recently had the glorious privilege of watching a Hallmark Hall of Fame movie called “Front of the Class.” I was thrilled to be sitting on my mother’s bed with my mom and my sister watching such a touching film which I would like to tell you a little bit about. Diagnosed with Tourette’s syndrome [...]

Filling with Joy

Posted by on February 4, 2010 at 8:00 pm

If you haven’t figured it out yet…one of my favorite things to blog about is baseball. Everything from the national anthem to the final strike out fills me with a sense of pride and gratitude to be there witnessing such a fun game. I love the steps of a proper pitch and the graceful slides [...]
